    Once again the WD software was a challenge. Would not identify the drive in the software although Windows can see the drive and I can store data on it.

    Works well, is rpm drive but the speeds are good. Not a fan of proprietary ports on any electronics. If I'd had seen that I would have purchased another drive. I'd have sacrificed some speed for type c

    I normally like the quality of Western Digital however with this one the cable and plug to the Hard Drive wasn't very well designed so I can't indicate if it was just the one I purchased or will be all of them. I don't think much thought went into this but when its less expensive there is a reason why.
